The Immortal Path of Ink Feathers

The immortal sects of Jiuzhou uphold the slaying of beasts as the righteous path. Ling Xuanchen, the young master of the Zhenshou Sect, bears a crippled spiritual root and endures endless scorn. During a sect trial, he rescues the gravely wounded Moyuan Lingling, the emperor of the myriad feathered beasts, and unexpectedly awakens the lost Way of Feather Symbiosis. Man and beast become linked in mind and spirit, redeeming each other and shattering the millennia-old prejudice that humans and beasts cannot coexist. As the malevolent Feathered Beasts wreak havoc across the land, the immortal sects launch a great slaughter of all beasts, indiscriminate of good and evil. Branded a traitor to his sect, Ling Xuanchen flees with Moyuan Lingling, gathering kind-hearted exotic beasts to stand against the old immortal sects and the world-ending beasts. In a great battle within a secret realm, ancient hidden truths are revealed. He quells the flames of war through the Way of Symbiosis and overthrows the iron law of beast-slaying. The once worthless youth ultimately becomes the Ink Feather Daoist Sovereign who bridges the human and beast realms, walking his own unique immortal path. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Immortal Path of Ink Feathers — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
